Abstract
was obtained. Additionally, thermodynamic analysis showed that the oxidation reaction of DBT was endothermic with a positive Gibbs free of energy, indicating the non-spontaneity of oxidation of DBT in the UAOD process. Moreover, the conversion rate of DBT has increased from 57% at 35 °C to 85% at 65 °C.
